    If you’re looking for the best, Gluten Free Ramen recipe, look no further. This traditional ramen recipe calls for just a handful of simple ingredients and takes less than 10 minutes of cooking time. It delivers on taste, texture, and convenience. It tastes just like you remember!

    Ramen was one of my favorite comfort foods growing up, especially in the wintertime. So, when I was diagnosed with celiac disease years back, it was a hard transition to gluten free ramen. But, I perfected this homemade gluten free ramen recipe that nobody ever knows is gluten free!

    Why this easy gluten free ramen is the best

    • Quick and easy: Made in under 10 minutes, this is the perfect dinner for busy weeknights.
    • Versatile: You can add your favorite toppings like eggs, veggies, or even protein like gluten-free orange chicken.
    • Budget friendly: Using pantry staple ingredients, this recipe won’t break the bank.
    • The best leftovers: If you happen to have leftovers, they taste great for lunch the next day! There’s something about leftover soup that just hits the spot!

    Ingredients You’ll Need (and Substitutions)

    This homemade ramen comes together with a few basic ingredients, many of which you already have lying around your pantry. But the best part is, this recipe is incredibly versatile – feel free to customize with your favorite toppings and spices.

    • Gluten-free ramen cake: I love Lotus Foods brand, but you can use soba noodles or black rice noodles depending on preference.
    • Chicken broth: Chicken broth is my favorite, but vegetable broth or bone broth will work as well. If you want a lower sodium option, you can use low sodium chicken broth.
    • Egg: This is totally optional, but a poached or over easy egg adds more flavor and a source of protein.
    • Seasoning: Real salt, seasoned salt, parsley, black pepper, and garlic are my spices of choice. If you want to make things super easy, you can use ramen seasoning.
    • Other toppings: Carrots, tofu, scallions, shrimp, green onions, bean sprouts, and sesame seeds are all great additions.

    Is ramen broth gluten-free?

    Typical ramen broth is not normally gluten free because it contains soy sauce. However, making your own ramen broth with vegetable or chicken stock is an easy way to ensure your broth is gluten free.

    Is ramen seasoning gluten free?

    No, the ramen seasoning packet is not gluten free because it contains wheat flour. However, you can buy gluten free ramen which will have gluten free seasoning or you can make your own like we did in this recipe.

    How to make gluten-free ramen

    The broth: Heat the chicken or vegetable broth on a stovetop until it reaches a boil.

    The ramen: Add the gluten free ramen cake and cook for roughly 3 minutes or until soft.

    Seasoning: Season with remaining ingredients and enjoy hot.

    Egg (Optional): If you’d like to add an egg, drain the ramen noodles into a bowl and then drop an egg into the hot broth and cook for 2 minutes until soft boiled

    Enjoy: Pour ramen broth over the noodles, top with the egg, and serve hot!

    Pro tip: Top your ramen with nutritional yeast, red curry paste, sour cream, our tender garlic chicken thighs or miso paste for extra flavor.

    Storing and Reheating

    Store leftover ramen in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Like most gluten free pasta recipes, they are better fresh but reheating in the microwave or on the stovetop is a good option. Personally, I love taking leftover ramen for lunch the next day!

    What to serve with ramen?

    If you’re looking to make this a bigger meal, you can serve with crispy gluten free egg rolls, gluten free potstickers, or fresh gluten free spring rolls. A cucumber salad or avocado salad are other great sides. You can also serve a small bowl of ramen on the side with my sweet and savory orange chicken.

        I love lotus ramen. I make a peanut sauce with mine. Also, since you can’t eat soy sauce with Celiac, I use Braggs Amino Acids. You’ll never know it’s not soy sauce ๐Ÿ˜Š

          Great recipe! Add some chicken bouillon to your ramen for some more potency of the chicken flavor if you are feeling your ramen is missing a little bit of that!

          Also i added some toasted sesame oil to prevent the noodles from sticking together and topped it off with a couple of sunny side up eggs. It was perfect!! Thank you so much for this recipe! ๐Ÿ’›

        I didn’t even know gluten free ramen existed! So glad to find this recipe – my husband is *supposed* to eat gluten free, but there are so many foods he doesn’t want to miss out on! This is one delicious replacement now.
